"Status" is a bit of a strange element. Most, but not all, non-Poisoning Status attacks tend to have the Status element. Unfortunately, a lot of monsters—all Undead and most bosses included—resist Status attacks, making many debuffs a lot less useful than they otherwise could have been. Nonetheless, most Status effects are quite powerful—Slow and Silence can shut down monsters who deal all their damage through large numbers of hits or powerful spells, respectively, and Confusion is always nasty. Unfortunately for you, the only gear that resists Status is the Ribbon itself, and there are plenty of monsters with Status-elemental attacks and spells, and almost every monster attack that causes a Status other than Poison is also Status-based.

Most spells and abilities that inflict status ailments other than Poison and Stone are Status-elemental. A lot of monsters—all Undead and most bosses included—resist Status attacks, making many debuffs a lot less useful than they otherwise could have been. Nonetheless, most Status effects are quite powerful: SLOW and MUTE can shut down monsters who deal all their damage through large numbers of hits or powerful spells, for instance. The only gear that resists Status is the Ribbon itself, and there are plenty of monsters with Status-elemental attacks and spells. Most attacks that inflict an ailment other than Poison or Stone are supposed to be Status-elemental, but due to a bug they instead use the element of the monster's weaknesses, if any.
